This book is the story of a unique New Zealand phenomenon. For 30 years Sir William Hamilton's jet boat, inspired by and perfected in the shallow rivers of the Mackenzie Country, has given thousands of New Zealanders pleasure, excitement, and service of a remarkable kind. Their experiences and their successes are indeed the stuff of legend. New Zealand jet boaters have conquered some of the world's wildest waterways, boating upstream for the first time such fabled rivers as the Zaire, Ganges, and Colorado. As undisputed world river-racing champions, they have also carved their place in the annals of sporting history. The commercial potential of marine jet propulsion has been developed and refined to give the craft a range of roles largely undreamed of when, in the 1950s, Sir William Hamilton made his revolutionary breakthrough.
